stitutionai amendment must be adopted by the next legislature and submitted immediately to a vote of the people for adoption, and then a state bond issue enacted-all during the session. "It would seem inconceivable tnat the members of thc legislature from th" counties along the Harding highway would oppose these measures. And yet in the last legislature four of the counties were represented in the ho'iso by men absolutely opposed to the entire project; four other counties bv men who voted favorably, but only after they had voted for every amendment introduced to defeat the Great Benefit "No section of Iowa has been more 'greatly benefited by this proposed program and the work of the Good Roads association than the counties along the Harding highway.

-If the statf bond is.sue is adopted, during tho few years least 1000 mile-4 of loads could be added to nnd many miles of roads to could be -ttHl pioptrly financed from "There is one way to insure the completion of this primary road sys- I ter in Iowa, the enlargement of the 'system, and permit these counties to surface their secondary roads, and that send from these counties to the next legislature men who will support this rogram. "This Harding Highway association will fall down on its job if it fails to do that. There can be no excuse or alibi. Some of you have bcen the best workers from thc beginning for this state program, and to you much credit must be given. Others, and many of you, are securing these good roads not because of any assistance your legislators have In spite of them.

"From the very beginning of this good road campaign we have ently advocated the building of secondary roads, "As I have already issuing of state bonds will release the counties', credit now tied up. "There are approximately 672 miles of primary roads in these 12 counties and 1,385 miles of county roads. Gas Tax Helps "With the counties relieved of the primary road bonds they could vote Hufficient county bonds to surface every mile of their county roads with gravel, shale, or other surfacing of that type, and retire these bonds with the gasoline tax now going back to the counties for secondary roads and direct tax levy now collected, YVI1IIV along Harding highway will have their primary road systems through the county bond this yar, it is also true that most of tho'counties will not be able to complete their primary road systems through tho amount of bonds they have voted, but these bond issues mint 'bo supplemented with state funds, and it Is c-xtrc-mely doubtful the systems in counties can ily be competed in less than six without bond issue. wo continue under the present county bond by the end of 1931 interest Four-ninths of the present three cent gasoline tax Is allocated back to the counties on the basis of the area of the county to the total area of the, state. "The counties along the Harding highway with the exception of one are all small counties in area.

But they are receiving from the gas tax for expenditure on their secondary roads approximately $32,000 a year. This in itself would finance approximately $200,000 in seven year bonds, nnd would permit the surfacing of from 60 to 70 miles of county roads in each county.

FLEER CORPORATION, PHILADELPHIA, PA. LEONARDO DAVINCI who was born in 1452, is usually thought of only as a very great painter who produced the "Mona Lisa," now hanging in the Louvre, Paris. As a matter of fact, he was the first engineer of modern times, and his name enters into the history of countless scientific topics, including flying machines. Leonardo said: "I remind you that you confirm your statements." Like Thomas A. Edison, he never made an assertion until he could add: "Proven by experiment." The electrical industry of today is constantly offering new services to the domestic and industrial consumer of light and power.

But it does not offer them until its engineers and scientists can say: Troven by experiment." Let Us Serve You Electrically. IOWA SOUTHERN UTILITIES GO. Dedicated to the Service of 62,000 Accounts of Twenty-five Counties of Southern Iowa..
